One of the simplest and most effective cosmetic treatments we offer our patients from our New Jersey dental office is the highest quality teeth whitening. After years of using the many different teeth whitening techniques, we have chosen the KoR Whitening System. This system is considered the most reliable and effective bleaching system available today. The KoR system utilizes the best of all bleaching options to achieve beautiful, healthy, and natural-looking white teeth.

A dental bridge uses the adjacent teeth to anchor a replacement tooth or pontic in the missing space. In some circumstances, we will place a dental crown first. This helps to keep the surrounding teeth secure and in their place, while also providing a replacement tooth but also creating the appearance of natural teeth.
